Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you really talking about EVERY card? Say, for example, that I have a lot of 90+ cards (85 or so different) from 1933 Goudey. Mostly commons, mostly in G-VG condition. Grading that lot would cost more than the value of the entire lot.
In Barry's last auction, a similar lot went for about $1200 (if memory serves me right). Even if it went for double that, completely graded, are you saying that Leon & Scott should eat the grading cost?
Not to mention, by grading it, you remove some of the pool of bidders. People who only buy raw are out.
I think it's judicious to use some judgement in this matter.
